I never know whether or not Jim James is being serious or just being weird. It is entirely possible that they are working on a screenplay, but equally possible that is completely make believe and he is just being his normal strange self. I wish I had taken notes over the years of some of the weird things he has said during concerts and in interviews.

So... With Pearl Jam playing shows in April, and a big blank spot in the schedule from mid April until mid July, this should increase the chances of them playing Roo, yeah? I mean, why would they pack up for one single show in Chicago? Doesn't seem to make much sense.

Macca - Pearl Jam - Furhtur

As much as I want this too happen, there are good chances this is the only US show they do until there fall tour. Eddie grew up in some town less than an hour away from Chicago, and he is big Chicago sports fan. I think he has a song about the Cubs? My brother is a Pearl Jam nut.

Still hoping for Soundgarden..

Eddie grew up in Evanston, it is the very first burb North of Chicago if you stay along the lake.

I'll be happy with PJ or Soundgarden on the farm, but at some point Matt Cameron is probably going to want a break. Soundgarden is touring now through May, and if PJ is going to start up again in the fall I could see both bands taking June off. Who knows?

Maybe burned would be a better analogy. I don't blame him for keeping quiet.

Agreed. We don't blame you. Any reservations are understandable. But.....any new info will also, obviously be appreciated.

Here's a great idea. Stay with me. You could create a new account, log on with it, and only post the new info. We will know it's you because you will "like" the post with your real account. That's too much work for anyone other than those of us that are paying close attention to trace back to you. But then we will know.

I can't remember what the verdict here was on Grohl/Foo...Was it the fact that Foo aren't touring, conflicting dates, Sound City stuff??

Just caught him on WTF (recorded last week), and he and the rest of Foo Fighters were rehearsing for what sounds like set of shows with many of the artists involved with SCP.

I may have been reading too much into it, but it really made me think a set of super shows is in the works. Especially when Maron made the comment about the publicist not letting him record their rehearsal jams, like it was a big secret.

Not a great idea. We don't like duplicate accounts....especially for lineup "inside info". We get plenty of them each year (already had a few this year so far).

My bad. I was trying to be humble. You're right. I should have said amazing.

Last September at the Global Festival Grohl said that Foo Fighters were going on hiatus

"Without making a big deal out of it, we don't have any shows after this. This is it, man," the frontman said before the band ripped into "Learn to Fly," their fourth song of the night. "Honestly, I don't know when we're gonna do it again... and this is the perfect place to do it."

Kinda doubt after making that proclamation and starting a number of other projects they would play Roo.

Yeah, I knew that, that's kind of why I asked the question because I was surprised that they were rehearsing (as of last week).

That would be awesome! It would have to be on a stage. If it were to happen, possibly a LN Which?

Hate to burst everyone's bubble (especially since I want to see him/Foo's live again), but the only way we're getting Dave Grohl is if he is billed with a headlining slot. That would mean with SCP or Foo Fighters and I just can't see it happening.

More likely we get Soundgarden than PJ... I sorta doubt we'll get either though.

I only think Soundgarden will be there, but I don't think getting both is out of the question. In fact, I think it's more likely than just a PJ set, since they could one-up the last performance by mixing in some Temple of the Dog songs

the wavves show was awesome. i gotta admit they are better at smaller indoor venues though. all the guys from workaholics were at their show too and got to chat with them a bit after. i'd welcome wavves back in a heartbeat.
